I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee...Psalm 9:verses 1 and 2a

Monday Thoughts...

Oh those sweet times with the grandchildren! Such wonderful memories and thankfully so recent. I am looking forward to our next visit.

Do you remember the wonder we looked at the world with as children? I do. Our grandchildren are living in that world now! Just like going to Grandma's house was like visiting heaven (or so I thought when I was a child), getting lovingly greeted by her. The way she would sit beside me and hold my hand. The way she melted cinnamon hearts in her homemade applesauce. The partially empty Avon bottles of perfume my Aunt would save for my cousin and I. And how the adults took care of everything!

Yesterday after church ....I came home and made this red sheet cake and it is SO delicious. I don't often bake, but this recipe was everything claimed and more! I was seriously addicted to the icing, believe me...=). I even licked the mixer beaters and I haven't done that in years!!!

Sunday Thoughts...

Yesterday in Sunday School, our lesson was about Moses. How his Mother trusted God and went ahead with her brave plan to leave her baby floating in a basket on the river. How wonderful to see how God worked in the princess, who had compassion on the baby and so this true story goes on. God takes care of each of us and cares for us no less than he did for Moses. To be in the place of God's blessing we must exercise...Trust and obedience. Oh, the richness of His love!

Hi Maggie Ann .. I sent you an email regarding the question you asked about changing your blog's background. Let me know if you get the message.

I think I shall try that cake when my son returns from fighting a wild fire down in Arizona. He missed his birthday at home. May have to change the cake color to green (He's nutty about 'all thing's Irish' .. and asked for a green cake). Sounds like you are sure enjoying your grandchildren. It's good to have and make such memories. I remember going to church with my grandma and sitting close to her touching the peaches and cream soft skin of her arm .. and the way she smelled so good.

The story of Moses and the trust that his mother had is one of my favorites. I don't think I could have done what she did, set my child afloat in the river. I bet there have been times as my kids were growing up they thought I HAD sent them down the river. hehe

About Me

My Testimony

I was saved when I was 32 years old. We had evangelistic meetings the week of Mother's Day. When asked by the evangelist if I died tonight would I be sure I would go to heaven. I answered...'I hope so'. He answered, 'young lady, heaven is a 'know so' place'. He asked me to sit up front the next day in church, and the message was 'Hell will be filled with 'good' people'. The first one third of the message I sat in the pew and reviewed to God and myself what a 'good' person I really was. Not! The Holy Spirit of God brought conviction to my heart so vividly, that I clearly remember not needing to hear any more of the sermon. God's word had reached ME! I was a sinner on my way to Hell. I couldn't wait to go forward and pray, accepting Christ as my Saviour. I believed on him that day and received Him personally by repentance and prayer, confessing my need of salvation. Hell will be filled with good people all right, BUT good only in their own eyes. God alone is sinless and 'good'.

"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is mad unto salvation. Romans 10: 9 & 10 Verse 13 says this, 'for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' John 1:12 & 13 says, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.'
